Tallboy Fishing Charters

One of the best fishing trips ever! We caught lots of bluefish and even a barracuda. Captain Richard and his mate Craig were knowledgable, friendly and professional. We would highly recommend them to anyone else and will certainly book with them again. Thanks, Tallboy charters for an awesome and memorable experience!

Awesome trip. Captain Richard took us out for a 3 hour trip. We caught 400 lbs of fish in that time frame. Worth every dime!

Richard is like the best dude ever. I do not fish, nor am I tall. Neither of these things matter, as he made my day today, and my visit to Hiltonhead extra memorable. Do yourself a favor — go to Hudson’s for lunch, then pop over to the tallboy for a little fishing, or do as I did and take a leisurely ride with Richard. He’s such a charmer, even the dolphins frolic in his wake. Literally. Rumor has it he is awesome at the fishing thing too and offers a full service that will make your visit to the area extra memorable so check it out. I personally guarantee you will thank me.

Captain Richard was first class for our family. This was my son’s 7^th birthday celebration and Richard helped me plan the outing before arriving in town and he was most pleasant and capable in person.
We planned a kid friendly shark outing for 3 hours. There must have been at least 10 catches. Most we’re black tip sharks, hotdogs, etc. All of us caught at least one shark, including my wife with none of our catches exceeded 4.5 to 5 ft in length.

Best fishing trip ever! Memories and fun that will last a lifetime. Capt. Richard was a serious fisherman; polite, professional, knowledgable and helpful.
We booked a four hour trip and caught several sharks right way including a spinner shark that was dinner! Capt. Richard then ask if we wanted to catch «a larger shark?» Of course! And we did! My daughter caught a Lemon Shark that Capt. Richard estimated to be about 8 ft and 175 lb.
We will return to HHI and to fishing on the Tallboy with Capt. Richard and I highly recommend it for anyone who loves to fish.

We took our dad to celebrate his 75^th birthday, and it was the best birthday ever! It was great having the whole boat for just the 3 of us, and Captain Richard was awesome. He was super friendly and knew just where to take us to find the fish and gave us advice on how to reel them in. On our half day charter we caught 11 redfish, including a 50-​pound whopper. Most were over 40 pounds, so we got a good workout reeling them in. We caught one that was legal size to keep, and Richard cleaned it and filleted it for a delicious fish dinner.

Our group really enjoyed the charter with Capt. Richard. I have been on over a dozen private fishing charters and I must say that this ranked up at the top.
His laid back attitude combined with a high degree of professionalism and customer service was a great match for us. The season we went out was best for sharks so we decided try that out for the first time.
My wife and 2 brother in-​laws were out for a 4hr trip and each caught 2 sharks, one of which was a large 200+lb nurse shark.
Just before our time was up, Richard noted that we were hitting a good time of day so he agreed to get one more on the line before went in. It was clear that he genuinely wanted everyone on the boat to have a memorable experience.
15min later, we got a bite that turned into a 2.5hr fight which we had to rotate across 3 grown men. It also dragged the boat for nearly 3miles. I was the unlucky one who had the real as it finally neared the boat and broke the line. We got a glimpse of its just before it must have wrapped itself in the line under the boat… We were beat for the day but it was most certainly worthwhile as Richard was great company and kept us on the shark for a surprisingly long time.
We will never know exactly what it was but he suspected it was a Tiger shark well north of 700−800lbs.
When I make it back down to Hilton Head, I will most certainly contact Tallboy again. I highly recommend this Capt.
